Today at the gaming event NACON Connect, upcoming titles have been announced but the one that leaped out to most is Daedalic Entertainment’s Lord of the Rings: Gollum. Working alongside Middle-Earth Enterprise, Daedalic will takes players back to Middle Earth as the books/films most infamous character, Gollum. As Gollum, players will have to make their way through different environments with Gollum’s skills to find his “Precious”. Players will escape slavery from the Orcs, encounter the Mouth of Sauron in Mordor, Elvenking Thranduil from Mirkwood, and others all the while being caught in the middle of the internal conflict of scheming and dangerous Gollum and the reasonable Sméagol. Lord of the Rings: Gollum will be coming out in 2022 for consoles and PC.

I had the incredible honor of sitting down with acting legend John Noble. I won’t lie, as the conversation began, I had a bit of a fangirl moment. You see, I’ve seen every episode of the “Fringe” series (image below) where Noble starred as Dr. Walter Bishop. I’m also a huge fan of The Lord of the Rings franchise, in which Noble starred as Denethor. He has also starred in series such as “Sleepy Hollow”, “The Resident”, “Elementary”, and DC’s “Legends of Tomorrow.” I could go on and on about me being a fan of Noble’s work or how talented he is. But the main topic of our discussion was his latest film, Silencio which is “A carefully underplayed sci-fi time displacement drama in the realm of The Butterfly Effect and Quantum Leap” (Starburst), Silencio fixes on a factual mystical marvel in the heart of Mexico that charges a young psychiatrist the mission of unraveling a real-life X-File!

Peter Jackson‘s most recent film is a World War I documentary called They Shall Not Grow Old. Known for his films such as Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, the brilliant filmmaker got his start in the genre we love so dear, horror. Lucky for us, while making They Shall Not Grow Jackson found the inspiration to return to his horror roots. He’s now on a mission to digitally restore his horror films Bad Taste, the disturbing puppet film Meet the Feebles, the gore-filled Braindead (aka Dead Alive), and Heavenly Creatures. Using the power of his Weta Digital VFX studio, which he built while making the Lord of the Rings franchise, he will add new life to his horror films in 4K. Each will also get a fresh new audio update. Did I mention each will also get a snazzy new documentary that will come with the box set? I’ve decided to go back and do this to my

Funko and BoxLunch teamed up to create unique collector’s item for fans, FunkO’s, a cereal. They’ve already come out with “Lord of the Rings Gollum” where inside is a Pocket Pop! version of everyone’s little tormented former Hobbit. Now they have a “Beetlejuice” themed cereal with everyone’s favorite ghoul waiting inside, and you don’t have to say his name three times! What makes these products (and BoxLunch in general) awesome is the fact that buying them will provide one meal to a person in need. For those not familiar, BoxLunch is a website that sells pop culture memorabilia but with a humanitarian twist. For every $10 you spend, a meal is provided for a person in need. What’s cooler, they even have exclusive collectibles you can only find there, here’s a tease of what you may find!
